Following potential 2015 draftees

[Forever Jazz]

I like a lot of the guys at 12, but dream scenario for me is trading up for Porzingis. I honestly think he'll be the best player in the draft and he plays the position we most need - a stretch big who actually has the body and athleticism to be a two way player with big upside in the future. I wouldn't expect big things next year, but anyone we draft will have the luxury of being brought along slowly. I could see the Magic listening to an offer of 12 and a future first rounder along with dumping Channing Frye on us for #5. May need a sweetener, but it seems like a good start.

Russell. I think they will count on being able to lure Gasol or Aldridge there in FA.

that is who I have but okafor is a nice piece with randle but Russell can play with clarkson and that is a nice back court with either being able to handle the ball. then they can sign Kevin love

Lakers need to consider ticket sales and fan appeal with their #2 pick also.
Who will sell more tickets?

 

[Park Bites]

I think Russell and them signing love will sell the most

 

[Doublea]

who do you think the lakers are going to take at 2?

They probably want Towns over Okafor (at least I think Towns fits better with Randle) and maybe Russell over Okafor.

Chad Ford's first mock draft since the lottery:

Towns
Okafor
Russell
Mudiay
Porzingis
WCS
Winslow
Hezonja
Booker
Johnson
Turner
Lyles
Kaminsky
Payne

Winslow at 7 & Hezonja at 8 is interesting.

Booker at 9? Oubre out of the top-14?

I think we are pretty good where we are unless we draft Lyles or Turner. Would hate to draft them.

 

[Mission Accomplished]

Not impressed with Lyle at all. Locke was raving him. I hate the thought of wanting a stretch 4 so bad that we will pass on talented players. Name a stretch beside Dirk or Memo that have changed the game.

You don't like Turner?

 

[Doublea]

I have a really hard time believing he'll be there. Yeah he's ancient (for a prospect) and he's not strong, long, or explosive, but his skill-level is really broad and really deep, he competes, he's mobile, and he doesn't **** up. Someone has to fall in love with him, Jimmer went top-10 for god's sake and he was a small, selfish, soft turd.

I could see Detroit taking a long look at him and the pacers too.
